How to Rank Up SOLO QUEUE *NO BS* (Valorant Tips & Tricks)

[@aboutcare6995]

"Pick selfish agents" me in the corner as a solo queue Astra main 😅

[@Stradious]

BROO Astra is the WORST agent for solo queue 💀

[@aboutcare6995]

@Stradious oh trust me ik lmao, I've just played her so long (since pre nerf) that I'm most comfortable playing her over any other controller. Clove is slowly getting up there for me tho.

[@mattvaloo]

stop playing astra. it's worth it to learn clove/omen over astra as their kit is way better rn and both have more utility for you to play selfishly

[@QwerQwee-ef4yo]

Well, i disagree that there any agent that is bad for soloq. I have highest winrate and acs with kj, viper and Astra with same amount of games played as iso. I just have more understanding of how to play lurky agents with strong postplant and ability to support, coordinate and follow your 4apes. So if Astra fits you best and you have fun with her specific playstyle- keep It going.

[@goodquestion81]

Astra is indeed a strong agent and you can get a ton of value from her if you have good gamesence as well as gunplay I agree that she is better with a team or a duo but it doesn't mean that she's useless. We all get those type of guys that run for kills right? An astra can use them or assist them with her kit to possibly win the round

[@__vha]

Met a dude in solo Q who said yeah Valorant is a 5v5 game but getting 5 random players to work together perfectly is never happening so just focus entirely on what you are doing and don't overthink anything. Chances are your enemies are just as brain dead as your team so stop overestimating them.

[@Stradious]

i do all that and got from g2 hard stuck to plat 3 in only 4 days i didnt know this video before but i found that tips out myself and i would say this is the best rank up video i have ever seen and i wish i knew that 3 month ago and guys always remember mental is everything NEVER FOKUS ON UR MATES and u will get better just give it time

[@Stradious]

Yeah fr the moment you just focus on ur own gameplay you literally awaken

[@rev0live752]

nah this video is kinda sht

[@itzzzRAMPAGE]

1. Don’t play past 10pm. 2. Turn off Opp Chat. 3. Stop playing after 2 losses. 4. Swing with the team to get the pick. 5. Stop changing your Fkn sens. It’s that simple. 😂

[@Stradious]

valid tips

[@Trixqz69]

why not past 10 pm??

[@itzzzRAMPAGE]

@@Trixqz69 just have had all my experience with trolls who throw games, Smurfs after 10pm

[@ImTheOneYT.]

Why stop playing after 2 losses?

[@itzzzRAMPAGE]

@@ImTheOneYT. because when I continue to play I’ll get more frustrated and when you involve your emotions with any task it effects the outcome. Likely is never the desired outcome you’re looking for. It may start slow and you don’t notice. But first your aim will slip and then decision making. And before you know it you’re tilted trying to force plays to compensate for the downfall and bam you lost 5 in a row and bout to derank if not already

[@littlehamham3281]

for the first tip when you play those selfish agents, and you bot frag you'd be more useful playing breach and being your teamates utility bot, but if you want to continue playing those selfish agents regardless of your performance still help your team if you run reyna still expect to help flash with your team, still expect to enter with your team, expect to make plans with your team when you watch pros and radiants play selfish characters, they dont play solo and they dont play super selfishly all the time they play with their team. dont play reyna and solo lurk every round or get mad at bad teamcomps when you instalock

[@Stradious]

This is true, you will be more useful when you’re on support and doing bad. HOWEVER, You have to understand that playing support won’t help you IMPROVE since you are relying on the skill of others and at the end of the day it’s about getting better, so really the result of one match shouldn’t matter ykwim. But yea solo lurk Reyna’s suck LMAOO

[@NotSoJuicyMac]

Problem is tho you're gonna have bad games no matter if you're a utility bot or egoist duelist. On one of them if you improve you can carry for your team but if you improve on the other you'll have minimal impact. Might as well train the agent that will get you impact.

[@Stradious]

@@NotSoJuicyMacdat is true wat a nerdcake 🤓

[@rev0live752]

⁠@@StradiousNO thats just wrong as breach you just throw your sht and then you can start worrying just about your skill as a player and not about “should i use this ability?” you just do your job first and then focus on improvement that is also why reyna is so often recommended she doesnt have util so you dont have to worry about util however breach is just better as you can play as reyna but still have util also trying to help someone doesnt make you reliant on that person its quite the opposite if i give a homeless i guy money i dont rely on him to pay my rent

[@LuvMike]

I solo quene a ton started playing jett was really in consistant with jett switch to clove and clove is the perfect agent for me and the team. I can entry when needed with the team with the ult provide smokes for the team and even have impact on the game when dead. Imo clove is the best agent for solo Q players

[@Stradious]

Factual, anotha reason why clove had highest wr lol. The ult is insane but it also messes up your Kd 💀

[@rev0live752]

nah its kinda bad

[@Dorkster81]

So with strat call outs Just see how ur team is gonna entry Example: I play sova sunset. And when i get a cypher and we go A. I ask him to cam left side. So i can dart right side hall (usually i dart left) but since we have cam + dart Its easy space to take Or icebox A If u have a raze “can u nade back site box by rafters?” Cause thats a common strat Or bind a (can u nade cubby hall) (Phoenix can u flash out the. Molly cubby) Do things that work for the map So learn little things and figure out 1 how can ur agent make up for a missing raze/molly / flash and if u csnt look at ur teammates to see if they have correct agent or someone similar

[@_Bushii_]

how do i manage to stay calm cause in dm/tdm i can strafe and click heads but when it comes to comp i justt crouch and panic spray

[@_Bushii_]

And if im warming up in csgo and then playing dm in val is good?

[@thecompiler3769]

just gotta play more there's nothing else u can do, more ranked less fear cuz then you care less about performance

[@_Bushii_]

@@thecompiler3769 im playing 2-4 comps a day and play even more (around 8 h)

[@Stradious]

A soft fix is to unbind crouch (or bind it to a far away key), it’s sorta like putting on training wheels and it’ll help u learn to strafe. But yea like others have said just get those reps in, the more clutch scenarios you’re in the more your brain weirdly enough will get used to it. Like the more times you die in a clutch the better since the next time you’re in that situation that you’ve been in a thousand times already you’ll be more calm so don’t sweat it

[@mattvaloo]

unbind crouch and try to focus on strafing

My problem is when I play deathmatch I play amazing winning but when I play comp or unrated I play like shit not cause I don’t know how to use the ability’s but maybe cause pressure and other factors also when I am playing I autopliot a lot and when I die I can think and predict what they do but when alive I can’t think

[@shivanshsharma7244]

I had the same issue, you just need to have more faith in yourself, stop playing more than 2 dm before comp and play as many comp games as possible in a day, if you want to get better at comp, play more comp or you will only be good in dms. I was gold 3 before now i am asc 2

Lowkey I kinda disagree, I feel like if u autopilot a lot u should play less comp but focus more on the quality of the games you play. However with mental, playing more games will help. So it’s kinda a weird situation to be in lol

What would you say are the stems of aiming in val? I rlly like calm aim and I wanna make a kovvaks playlist. Idk how long it should be lol, when I mean stems I mean like flicking smoothness js like what are the base things I need to practice for aim in val

[@Stradious]

Tbh I myself don’t even have an aim playlist I just pick like tasks, I recommend stuff from voltaic and ik ra headclick is good. Also do gridshot, like a lot, if not for aim do it for confidence it’s kinda like the bench press of aim lol. Base of aiming id say is crosshair placement, the less u NEED to aim the better. The best aimers barely aim since their passive aim is so good they don’t have to use their active aim

hello sir. thank you for your tips. I just played Valorant for a month and i'm stuck at bronze. do you have recommendation for aim training/routine? I feel like my aim is not consistent. Moreover, often times i felt like idk what to do when my teammates died earlier than me on attacker side, specially on Haven map. Hopefully you can upload or give us some tips for the low rank like me. Once again thank you so much and keep safe. P.S. sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language.

[@Stradious]

@@JamesAbang173 All good man, so for aim training I recommend you do aim labs before u play like around 15 mins doesn’t have to be much, gridshot, headclick, voltaic tasks are all good. If your teammates are dying early on offense SLOW IT DOWN. You’re gonna wanna tilt throw and run in but I feel like in the lower ranks especially slowing it down will force out a mistake from the defenders and you’ll equalize numbers. And yea np maybe I’ll make a vid on this

dude imma be honest its the teammates. not like how they play but usually they will do everything in their power to ruin your mental so id suggest to just mute and focus on ur gameplay. still comm ofc, but most of the time the comms from ur teammates will suck and so if it affects u that much then get a duo and only talk to each other or i suggest to mute
